What Does CVT Stand For?
CVT stands for Canonical Variational Transition State Theory
Canonical Variational Transition State Theory (CVT) is a theoretical framework used in chemical kinetics to describe the rates of chemical reactions. It incorporates variational principles to identify the most favorable transition states, allowing for more accurate predictions of reaction dynamics. By considering the canonical ensemble, CVT captures the effects of temperature and quantum mechanical behavior in the transition state region, making it a valuable tool in theoretical and computational chemistry for modeling complex reaction processes.
